Do you doubt if you exist.Asked the frail old lady.I don't know.Boy had not taken a fraction of second to answer.The lady was impressed with his confidence of ignorance.
But for the boy,he never pretended.He never had to.Somehow,he was the chosen child with all things known.His parents used to advise,you must grow up.But not for a once,he found anything wrong in himself.
At times,his questions embarassed him.He for instance believed he might not be a living being.After all,his existence depended upon the sense organs of him or for that matter of others.To him,believing anythng was always a challenge.
Often,he used to say,I have never seen myself.Why should I trust,I exist.For the sake of a man made mirror.I can't believe,he was fair complexioned.
He was full of doubts and doubted all.His grand mother once told him about God and how,he has created all.For once,he had believed her.But with time,he treated her grandmother's words like a sound,which was heard by his ears.
By the time,he had become a teenager,his parents had started getting worried about him.Multiple advices were sought from all corners.Once he heard his uncle saying,he was a punishment for the sins of his ancestors.
The boy liked the answer.He could sense the logic of his being.Soon he got more curious and asked his uncle,what if his ancestors had done good deeds.Uncle was not impressed.
Once in his village,an old lady came.She was revered by all villagers.It was said,she had the unique ability to get answers to all queries on her thumbnail.His parents of worry took him to the lady.
The lady had a glance at his face and asked,I was like you.I always doubted my self.However,by the time,I reached puberty,I had developed this unique knack of seeing all things on my thumbnail.I have a question and the moment I look at my nails,I have an answer.
The lady's mystery impressed the boy.He too wanted the thumbnail and asked,can I also have it.God's grace,said the frail old lady.
Sensing,the boy was getting inquisitive about her nails.she asked,do you have any question in your mind.Boy smiled and asked,who I am.
Both the lady and the boy had got the answers.Nails were clearly saying.You are a beautiful boy with correct questions.Just carry on
